there is a particular brand
of American crazy
spittle flying
righteous fury
nostrils flared
all razzle dazzle
or
calm and clear-eyed
requiring a double-take
because you could have sworn
up was down
and down was up
neither version
is marked by much shame
it's a kid having a
temper tantrum
relying on intimidation
or
hiding in the middle of the rug
with their eyes closed
because they don't understand physics
either way
it's a zero sum game
with heavy artillery
and the future
already played out
